Parents who suspect that artificial ingredients in food are affecting their children's behavior can now point to some cold, hard proof. A carefully designed study released Thursday in The Lancet, a leading British medical journal, shows that a variety of common food dyes and the preservative sodium benzoate - an ingredient in many soft drinks, fruit juices, salad dressings and other foods - causes some children to become more hyperactive and distractible than usual...
...talking to them or using them to help them operate in Somalia. Meles: As far as we know, these personalities did not have official sanction to do that what they were doing.

...taken money from them, compares their contributions to bribes and has challenged the Democratic Party to stop taking them. Obama, who used to take lobbyist donations but no longer does, has refused to join Edwards' call for a party-wide freeze on lobbyist cash. The Edwards camp calls this proof that Obama is a creature of the system who doesn't want to alienate the insiders. (Obama says he has his own plan for reform, thank you.) Clinton does take money from federal lobbyists-some $400,000 so far-and has defended them, saying they "represent real Americans ... They represent...
